Film Description

The true story of racing jockey Bob Champion (played here by John Hurt), who discovered he had cancer while at the height of his career. He began an intensive course of chemotherapy, and clawed his way back to health to win the Grand National. What makes this story all the more remarkable is the fact that Champion's horse Aldaniti was simultaneously recovering from an injury so serious that at one point it was thought the horse would never race again.

A very good film, very enjoyable and true to life. As somebody who has worked in racing the film can still make me cry ... and I am no hard racing jock more >
